I was orphaned on that day. It’s not funny for me. But I think it’s okay it’s funny to you. But I think if our positions were reversed you wouldn’t find it quite so funny.
I hated him with a passion every single day throughout his entire tenure. Hanging Chad’s?? I opposed the opportunistic invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq so hard I was literally photographed by newspapers.
Smug, self-righteous, and wrong in every way — you have a litmus test for humanity that smells like the mutual admiration society.
I have literally been pepper sprayed my cops at protests against fascism since then.
How dare you.
Honestly, stranger in the internet, you have zero fucking idea.
I’ve honestly never met more oppressive and less compassionate people than the ones here after I wrote a single comment that showed how brittle all you little babies are when confronted with the complexities of this planet.
The Saudiee surely funded Binladen if we are to believe any of the official story.
And it’s regrettable that Bush allowed them to get off the hook.
And later some Saudi prince murdered Jamal Khashoggi.
All shit from beginning to end.
I’m bored as fuck of this conversation.
Use the template or not.
I’m not going to because it’s distasteful to the relatives of the Americans murdered in the attack. You won’t see me using any templates of smart bombs murdering innocent people in Afghanistan or the Middle East because that too would be tasteless.
I’m glad I got under all these little babies skin though. I’m one person with 300 downvotes for a single comment.
What I learned from this is the Lemmy is filled with a bunch brittle fucking crybabies.
It would have mean that you were following the thread.
My claim: The Bush meme template is tasteless.
That’s all I’ve been suggesting.
Reason: living relatives of the thousands of victims find it painful.
Evidence: personal experience
That’s it.
But just to suggest that a meme template that might be offensive to others
Imagine an image of a man raping a woman and he had a joyful smile on his face. The tagline: When I get my final in at 11:59pm and the assignment closes at midnight
Pretty sure some people would find that offensive?
The point of this graphic is that you should dedicate your labour to doing something that you love and also benefits your community.
My wife and I were just talking about this topic and we landed on the Jessie Eisenberg movie VIVARIUM. It’s ab allegory for being trapped in our dystopia where there are forces at work trying to oppress us with useless labour. The fact is, currently, the only choice we have is to discover work that is meaningful for us – personally. My job is a helper job. I pay taxes. I do my helper job knowing I’ve contributed. It lightens the pain of the dystopia while we wait for the top 10% to start paying their fair share again. The Eisenhower tax rates were real.
See VIVARIUM – it may not be a banned film but the corporations sure as fuck don’t want you to see it. Welcome to your world.
Yes – few of the many homcidal societies on the planet were able to make the technological or artistic contributions to the world that America has made.
All civilizations throughout all of history are built on blood and oppression. Sorry – that’s just history.
Listen – I’m American and aware that my country was built on Genocide. Sadly Spain committed genocide all over the Americas and every major civilization has done the same. Singling out a single country just divides good people who might instead work together for greater justice
Working towards justice means understanding that a nuanced conversation cannot be approached with reductionist name calling and would be better served by a sober examination of facts.
